You never said what kind of station you have so I can't speculate what your
station is emitting, but you need to define field_map_extensions to map
what the gateway measures into weewx database elements.

# This section is for the Ecowitt Gateway driver.
# How often to poll the API, default is every 20 seconds:
poll_interval = 20
# The driver to use:
driver = user.gw1000
ip_address = 192.168.2.87 # gw1200
port = 45000
[[field_map_extensions]]
outTempBatteryStatus = wh26_batt # actually a wh32 but the driver maps
it to wh26 internally
batteryStatus1 = wh31_ch1__batt # multiple wh31 indoors t+h sensors
batteryStatus2 = wh31_ch2__batt
batteryStatus3 = wh31_ch3__batt
batteryStatus4 = wh31_ch4__batt
batteryStatus5 = wh31_ch5__batt
batteryStatus8 = wh51_ch1__batt # moisture maps to soilMoist1
automatically
soilTemp1 = temp9 # wh34s soil temperature sensor
# unfortunately no batteryStatus9
exists for wh34_ch1_batt
rain = t_rain # use WH40BH as primary rain sensor
stormRain = t_rainevent
rainRate = t_rainrate
dayRain = t_rainday
weekRain = t_rainweek
monthRain = t_rainmonth
yearRain = t_rainyear
rainBatteryStatus = wh40_batt
windBatteryStatus = ws85_batt # WS85 as the primary wind sensor
# map WS85 piezo wind sensor to new elements in the db
# so we can compare piezo and tipper readings and tune the piezo in the
ecowitt app
#
p_rain = p_rain # WS85 as the piezo wind sensor
p_stormRain = p_rainevent
p_rainRate = p_rainrate
p_dayRain = p_rainday
p_weekRain = p_rainweek
p_monthRain = p_rainmonth
p_yearRain = p_rainyear
#
# IMPORTANT - to use the above, we need to add columns to the db,
fortunately the
# gw1000 driver already maps these to unit groups so no other
action is needed
#
# Add the typically optional --config option to have it figure out the
# non-standard db name from the config file.
